I had this happen to me a while ago. My old Pixel 3 was struggling with battery and boot looping issues so I picked up a Pixel 6. I had managed to boot up my phone and start transferring files and such over to my new phone when it suddenly started calling 911 over and over again.

Every time I turned it off, it would boot up again and then immediately call 911. I had to talk with the dispatchers multiple times very nicely that no, everything's fine, my phone is going nuts. Eventually I was able to bypass the screen and turn it off in settings before it rang again.

It gave me a massive scare and I thought my phone was crying bloody murder because I was switching to a newer one.
